Well, I tried so hard to settle downBut the angel of destruction keeps on houndin' me all aroundBut I know in my heartThe leaves are shining in the sun,That we never really parted.Oh no, oh, help me, lord,Oh, help me, lord,Please, help me, lord, yeah, yeah,Help me to help myself,Help me to help myself.

They say the lord helps those who helps themselves,So I'm asking this question in the hope that you'll be kind'Cause I know deep insideThe leaves are shining in the sun,I was never satisfiedOh no, oh, help me, lord,Please, help me, lord, yeah, yeahHelp me to help myself,Help me to help myself.
